John Reddick’s fascination with architecture began when he was a young man living in Philadelphia and continued through his studies at Yale University. Now an architectural and cultural historian, he reflects on the legacy and potency of the stoop in Harlem.

The Stoop

The Studio Museum's new building was designed using Harlem's landscape as an inspiration—The soaring interiors of the faith-based places, the stages for music, theater, and dance that are so integral to Harlem’s culture, the bustling life on 125th Street, and the stoops of Harlem’s brownstones, which are such a prominent transitional zone between the public and the private.

Harlem Inspired was produced by Sound Made Public with the Studio Museum in Harlem.
